"We are in an ancient forgotten land", explained Uruk. Having jumped into the adventure Arth now began to feel a little anxious. "I will be late for dinner. My mother will be worried if she doesn't find me. What if I am gone for long? I will be marked absent in school", he thought to himself. Uruk seemed to read his mind. "Don't worry. Here, one year is equal to one second in your world. So you won't be gone for more than 3 seconds maximum", Uruk explained. Arth felt relieved. "Why are we here?" he asked, his curiosity returning. "They say that when the moon is in its twelfth house, the spirit of the city appears as a man and speaks of a secret treasure", replied Uruk, his eyes glowing like embers in the evening light. "So we shall wait for the night to come", he said.
